Chapter 464 Don't Play Cards According to Common Sense and Go Back
Not only because of this sword, the price of spears and shields soared, offsetting the hundreds of thousands of extra pounds spent on this sword.
As long as it is collected for a few years, let the market digest this auction, and the inflated price will be in the minds of collectors.
If the three pieces are sold together, it will definitely not be 4.2 million pounds at 140+140+140, but it may be 5 million or 6 million pounds.
Annie gave Li Changheng a blank look, and whispered, "You guys have too many calculations."
Li Changheng smiled, held her little hand, and looked at the last auction item.
When Virgil saw Li Changheng looking over, he immediately looked forward to it.
You must know that this ancient Roman bronze auction has absolutely no historical value.
But the bad thing is that the protagonist of the statue is Artemis, the goddess of hunting in the declining Olympus mythology system.
In other words, just the belief alone excludes a large part of potential customers.
Moreover, the size of this treasure is only the size of a palm. In the eyes of many rich collectors who have little to do with history and cultural value, it is not considered a must-have collection.
Collectors who really understand her value are generally scholars, professors, or wealthy people who have studied this aspect of history.
But in such a small area, the probability of a rich man appearing is too small.
Or many rich people who like it may not have enough cash in their hands to allow them to spend on a bronze statue at will.
Fortunately, this treasure will be taken out, unless the owner really wants to sell it.
It was also because the works of art that Li Changheng bought at several auctions were not mainstream cultural relics.
Therefore, many people feel that the more bizarre the treasure, the more attractive it is to him.
Virgil pointed to the bronze statue that was placed on a special glass table, and when it was illuminated by the light, it seemed to be shining with streamers.
"The statues of Artemis and the stag are from the 2nd to 1st centuries BC, and besides myself, there are 3 master experts in art appraisal who jointly issued a treasure signature certificate.
The starting price is 800,000 pounds, and the owner requires that each increase be no less than 100,000. "
Hell, when they heard that the price increase must not be less than 100,000, many people immediately retreated.
This thing has four masters using their reputation as a guarantee, the possibility of being fake is extremely low, extremely low, and there is no need to doubt its value.
But no one is stupid.
If the owner makes such a request, it will definitely make people suspect that he intends to raise the price.
You only need to send someone to the scene, or even use the phone to bid for the auction, and you can easily increase the price by hundreds of thousands.
All eyes were on Li Changheng.
Because only he is rich, likes weird, not mainstream art, and once he really likes it, he doesn't care about the price.
Sure enough, Li Changheng, who had the impression of this bronze statue in his memory, didn't even raise the sign, and directly quoted the price of '1 million pounds', which instantly made the people on the scene boil.
This palm-sized gadget will basically change hands every 7 or 8 years in the future, and then its value soared to 9 million pounds in 1995.
Calculated at one million pounds, purely compared with inflation, three times the inflation rate, it is definitely a suitable investment project.
Not to mention that he would rather trade for 2 million pounds today, and spending the extra 1 million is just a signal to the outside world.
As for how much feedback can be brought by doing so.
Even if you don’t use money to calculate it, just strengthening the confidence of countless people that gold and oil will rise is definitely not a return that can be obtained with a pure 1 million pounds.
However, if someone really treats him as a winner.
Li Changheng would rather use other methods to express his thoughts on gold, diamonds and oil to the outside world.
And I won't jump into other people's tricks really stupidly.
Instead, you can take advantage of the other party's purposefulness and kick him into the fire pit.
"1 million pounds for the first time," Virgil looked at the people present with bright eyes.
However, his gaze was on the telephone quotation desk intentionally or unintentionally, but he still couldn't escape Li Changheng's eyes.
Sure enough, when Virgil saw someone raise his hand, he immediately pointed to the other party and said to everyone, "1.1 million pounds, from a phone offer."
Li Changheng didn't need others to expect, he said directly, "1.5 million."
"God", now the people present don't care about being polite or impolite.
In countless auctions, I have never seen anyone, and OnePlus is a geometric multiple of 200,000 to 400,000 pounds.
Even Virgil, who had stood on the auction stage for more than 30 years, stuttered involuntarily.
"1, 1.5 million pounds, and whether there is a price increase."
After saying this, everyone stared at Virgil, and was shocked in his heart.
Then they realized in an instant that Li Changheng's unusual offer could easily disrupt their planned plan.
Now that the situation has changed, as far as he is concerned, he must not deliberately slow down his speech as he did just now.
Because he knows very well that this unreasonable price increase is equivalent to booking the headlines of at least France and England tomorrow.
Today's bronze statue of Artemis and the Stag and its buyer, Henry Lee, will surely be famous all over the world.
With so much attention, as long as he, the auctioneer, asked the price a little slower, someone would definitely jump out and criticize him.
This blow to his personal prestige and reputation is absolutely fatal.
Therefore, at this time, Virgil can't take care of the established plan, let alone use his future career and the reputation he has built up in decades to help others.
He didn't even have to think for a second, as if he offered to help Li Changheng, it took less than three seconds for him to finish asking the price for the first time.
Just shouted at the scene, "1.5 million pounds, the second time."
What's more, the handleless wooden mallet held by three fingers was already ready to strike the deal with the sound of the hammer falling, not to mention putting his hand on the table.
"1.5 million pounds, No.,,,."
A person quoting on the phone saw that Virgil was not looking at his side, and immediately shouted, "Wait, here."
"Sorry, sorry, some people are so dazzling that people can't help but focus on her."
What everyone didn't understand was that the old man was clearly talking about Annie, but he was secretly implying Henry Lee.
And when he said this, everyone could see from his face that this old guy didn't know why, but he seemed to really favor Henry Lee.
If this was the past, everyone present would definitely laugh at and accuse him together.
But everyone knew in their hearts before bidding that the last auction was probably deliberately set up by someone.
Therefore, Virgil is not only for his own reputation, but also for the sake of customers.
It doesn't seem so hateful to favor the real bidder, who is willing to quote, and is even super rich in the future.
Even, most of the participants were thinking about it in their hearts.
Put yourself in the situation, if you encountered such a thing, you would definitely like the auctioneer to be Virgil.
